The Harvard Quartet at the Star Course last
evening created quite sensation by its contr-
buttons to the programme, the originality and
humorous character of many of its selections, to-
gether with the excellence of all its vocal work,
giving good cause for the enthusiastic applause
again and again after each of its numbers.-[ Bos-
ton Herald Dec. 81, 1886.
The Harvard Quartet gave it's promised con
cert Saturday evening last, and it is sufficient to
say that with the possible exception of the Tenn
pie Quartette, it is the best musical organization
that ever visited Geneva The voices were even
more powerful on the forte passages than the
famous Quartette with whom the comparison is
made. The voices of the Harvards are equal to
the best in ballad or part SongS.-[Geneva, n. Y.
Gazette May 49, 1887.
The Harvard Quartet at the Choral Union
concert last evening, at once gained the good
will of the audience. Every one of its members
was encOred.-[ Albany, NY, Daily, Mar. 81, 'S7.
The Harvard Quartet and Concert company
gave rare treat at the Opera House, Friday
and its selections were rendered with spirit and

The Knights of Labor.

The Church Of Rome is opposed to Sc
cret societies, and nearly one-third of the
members of the Knights Of Labor are
Catholics. The Church has been inquir-
ing into the order, and Cardinal Gibbons,
who is now in Rome, has made an official
report to the Vatican. The American
Bishops take favorable view of the Order.
They find that it is not secret order such
as is condemned by the Church, and is
exempt from canonical censure.
Cardinal Gibbons says he considers the
organization of the Knights of Labor in
the United States not only harmless, but
that it will possibly be beneficial as assist
ing in the eventual settlement of the great
question of the proper relations between
labor and capital.
The platform of the Knights contains
many admirable things, and but few to
condemn. Censure has resulted mainly
from the practice of members of the Order
in certain sections, in destroying property,
assaulting and preventing men from work
ing, and by system of bOycotting running
the business of those who did not agree
with them. The Order does not sanction
these practices, but the discipline does not
seem to be such that these can be pre-
vented. The organization is not compact
enough, or rather not sufficiently under
control to restrain the extreme and unruly
members, and these are they who have
